Welcome to My World

The rantings, philosophies, and memories of a retired military, ex-diplomat, tattooed biker chick, quilting o'lady, pagan college student step-mom.

No guilt trip here - I refuse to to cave into that trap - about anything. Everything happens for a reason (Karma? Fate? Destiny? Dumb Luck? or Free Will...) and it is what it is. I've come to a point in my life where I can accept that.

Eveyone always told me to write a book, because I have so many funny stories, life experiences, unique view points...but, a book? What a pain in the ass. Blogging seemed like the next best thing, so, if you're ready (and there's room enough for everyone!) fire up the bikes and lets ride....

On Line Shopping


There's a website you quilters need to check out: http://www.thequiltpatternshoppe.com/


What's cool about this site is that The Quilt Pattern Shoppe has over 200+ patterns on the site from various pattern designers, and all patterns are downloadable -- you buy and print your patterns instantly! There are no shipping charges and you can begin working on the beautiful patterns immediately.
I live out here in the middle of nowhere, and there certainly are not any quilt shops around, and the nearest bookstore is a good 30+ miles away. I know I've got 25+ books and even more patters on my shelves. You can purchase and print quilt patterns instantly, and the prices are reasonable too! You can accumulate points on purchases to use toward partnering online quilt stores for thread, fabric, and other items. The Shoppe newsletter keeps you informed of sales, and the site's blog let's you know what's new. AND, they've even got FREE downloadable designs! I like free. They have specials, and you can shop by size, or skill level, or technique.
The internet is how folks shop - this makes it so easy to get the designs you want, patterns you need, information, and more - all from the comfort of your own home. How easy is that?!
One last thing - The Quilt Pattern Shoppe is having their one year anniversary! They're having a drawing for a $30 gift certificate - find out more by following this link: http://www.thequiltpatternshoppe.com/blog/2009/05/12/first-year-anniversary-give-away-contest/
